Use this site for putting together the machine. It will tell you if something is not compatible and it will give you the best prices on each part (it's not a sales page in itself) which means that you will most likely be able to get better parts.

what? Nanoxia can kick Fractal's design ass every day of the week. They are the real silent case manufacturers.

 

 

 

It looks really good, however that motherboard does NOT support SLI (it does support Crossfire), you should consider:

A: Changing your GPU to a R9 290X (or R9 290)

B: Changing your PSU to something between 500-600W

C: Changing your motherboard to another one that supports SLI (Z97 / Z87 only)
